Mercedes-Maybach introduces the ‘Edition 100’ based on the S-Class

KUALA LUMPUR: Mercedes-Maybach, the brand which is known for its ultra-luxury cars is celebrating its 100th anniversary with an even rarer version of the current S-Class. The special edition is called Mercedes-Maybach Edition 100 and it will go on sale in the first half of 2022 with limited availability of 100 units worldwide. 

The car is hand-painted with a two-tone Cirrus Silver and Nautical Blue on the exterior and has special leather trimmings in MANUFAKTUR Crystal White/Silver Grey Pearl inside. Special "Edition 100" badges are positioned on the C-pillar, wheels, storage compartments, door sills, dashboard, and hub caps. 

An exclusive car cover with the iconic double M and a handmade leather case made of soft crystal white or black leather are also part of the kit. The latter is provided to store keys and papers.

Other premium features to be available with the 2022 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Edition 100 are high-tech screens for infotainment, a noise-insulated rear compartment with Burmester 4D surround sound system, and head and massage seat functions. 

In terms of dimensions, the special edition has a 7-inch (18 cm) longer wheelbase as compared to the long-wheelbase version of the S-Class.

As for the powertrain, the S-Class Edition 100 is fitted with a 6.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V12 engine churning out a maximum power output of 621 hp and a peak torque of 1000 Nm. It is to be noted the mill in question is holding out the brand’s last run in big engines before its transition to electrified models. Further, the car is equipped with all-wheel drive for the first time.

About the price, the automaker did not speak anything yet. For reference, we can see the Mercedes-Maybach S580 price tag that reads $184,900 (RM 773,447). But that’s a V8-powered model, which means we can expect a good hike.
